BD Rebuilder Beta - Bug Reports Only

Might be a good idea to have a HIDDENOPTS type file for NVENCCRE.
That is two apps to maintain now.

COMPLETION_BEEP=1

It will play the contents of Ding.wav in the MISC folder under BD-RB's folder. If that doesn't exist it will play the default "Beep" for your system. The sound will only play if a job is completed (all files), and it will not play if you abort a job.

This will be helpful when multi-tasking. Thank you!

For some strange reason, I can't get the menu colors to work. Here are the related INI lines:

MENU_ACTIVE_COLOR=0xA6D1D7
MENU_CUSTOM_COLOR=
MENU_INACTIVE_COLOR=0x32819A

Instead I am getting the default white colors. Even if I change MENU_INACTIVE_COLOR to 0x0000FF, I do not get the red. It is still white.

I'm at a loss.

For a quick UHD-BD-R/-RE playability test on standalones https://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?t=183578
I would kindly ask for known to be working (hidden or open) options which enable building such disc.
I will be testing BD-RE-25, BD-RE-50, BD-RE-100 (2 of 3 layers, 3 of 3 layers)
(too long that I did not follow development, my bad, and it took longer until hardware became affordable for me)

If your source is a UHD disc and outputting to Full Backup or Movie-Only mode, then UHD output will be selected automatically. You can directly select BD-25 and BD-50 from the SETTINGS/OUTPUT OPTIONS menu. In order to output to BD-100, add the following to the "[Options]" area of you BDREBUILDER.INI file:

CUSTOM_TARGET_SIZE=94734

That's twice the default target size BD-RB uses for BD-50. You can use any other value if you think it suits BD-100 better.

You can then select "Custom Target Size" from SETTINGS/OUTPUT OPTIONS.

Please note that if your source is smaller than your output target, BD-RB may decide to not reencode (because if fits as-is). If you want to force reencoding, add the following line to your INI file:

FORCE_ENCODE=1

Even with that set, though, trying to take a smaller source (say BD-25) and stretching to fit a BD-100 will sometimes reach a maximum size for the encoder used. But that is less common.

If you are trying to put a standard BD source to UHD format, you can select "Convert BD to UHD-BD (HEVC) Format" from the SETTING/OUTPUT OPTIONS menu. That might occur if you do something like take two or more BDs and combine them into a single UHD disc. You can do that by simply putting the source BD structures under a single folder and selecting that folder within BD Rebuilder.

Hope that answers your question.

Out of interest...

If you are backing up one movie per disc, what do you need a menu for?

I just put those values into my INI file and did a test. They seem to have worked correctly. I think the the value you have for ACTIVE is high enough in all three colors (and close enough in value) that is appears whiteish (beige) (A6, D1, and D7).

Make sure the values are located in the "[Options]" section of the INI. Also make sure there are no other instances of that setting higher up in the INI file (the MS subroutine that handles reading INI files will act of the first setting it encounters).

[Edit] I also tried setting MENU_INACTIVE_COLOR=0x0000FF and it came out a bright red.

Many thanks, jdobbs and Happy New Year !

If you are trying to put a standard BD source to UHD format, you can select "Convert BD to UHD-BD (HEVC) Format" from the SETTING/OUTPUT OPTIONS menu.

This setting is what I am missing (v0.61.25 here).
Under Output Options I see only 5 lines to tick: BD-5, BD-9, BD-25, BD-50 and Custom.
Encoding Options has no x265 and no UHD entry.
Do I have to specify a hidden option to expose that setting ?

Write UHD_CONVERT_ENABLE=1 in your ini file

[Emulgator]

YES ! This was missing, undocumented in Hiddenopts.txt.
Many thanks, musiclover.

Whoops. Forgot about that.

There are a lot of options that aren't documented -- mainly to prevent confusion and self-inflicted issues. The majority of BD-RB users aren't necessarily BD savvy.

There's also one called UHD_ALL_MODE=1 that allows H.265 encoding of streams that are less than 1080p. While it usually works on many (most?) players -- it violates the UHD-BD spec.

It is a single file.

They are more along the color of gold.

Yep, where they belong and the only ones.

I also tried setting MENU_INACTIVE_COLOR=0x0000FF and it came out a bright red.

I've used the color settings in the past and they have worked. More investigation is in order.

A single video file, of course.

Where do you have the BD-RB Folder installed? Virtualization, perhaps (in the "Program Files" folder)?

Actually I don't. A while back you suggested that I place it directly under C:, which I have for the past couple of releases.

But, before I continue with my findings, a problem that has been happening pretty consistantly while searching this out is that after I save changes to the configuration I get the "file not found" error. It happens right after creating the pseudo-BD. Right before it goes on to do the menu. Between those two steps a dialog box very briefly shows up. No idea what it says as it is on the screen for too short of a time. If I do nothing and restart BDRB and rerun the job, there is no error. This one has been elusive for ages.

Now, on to what I found. Mental error. It came down to my not dealing with the three button states correctly: active, inactive and selected. With only one menu item, it becomes active by default. Thereby it was given the brighter color. For some reason I kept thinking inactive. The inactive color is useless in a single menu.

I suspect that you saw the red work because you had at least two menu items. I failed to mention that I only had one.
